Tilt/Telescopic steering

Adjust the steering wheel toward your chest, not toward your face. Make sure you can see the instrument cluster warning lights and gauges. After adjusting, push the steering wheel up and down to be in the locked position.

Never adjust the steering wheel while driving. This may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in a collision.
